Alexander Search – The Picture

[BNP/E3, 78 – 59]

 

Documents of Mental Decadence.

 

Delirium

 

The Picture.

 

In a saloon |that is a sleep|

Mine eyes did a picture meet,

And[1] wondrously wise and woefully deep

     And horribly complete.

A profound meaning more than tears

Are seen to give, and human fears,

And human madness and woe,

Come as a scent from that picture weird.

 

The name of the painter is ignored

     And his purpose none do know.

 

Alexander Search.

 

August 1907.
